I believe that most of us, grew up listening to fairy tales, told to us by our primary school teacher, parents, uncles... etc.
How many of you out there, dare to say that you have never heard of "Snow White And The 7 Dwarfs", "Cinderella", or "Sleeping Beauty"? Yeap! everyone must have heard of a fairytale at least once in their life, be it they like it or not.
A classic fairytale, DEFINATELY comprise of a wiked, jealous step-mother, an irresponsible birth parent, and the poor tragic leads.
We all listen, translate and remember the fairytale that was told to us. "Who and Who very poor thing hor?" , " Ai Yoo~ the step mother so evil~" and such.
How many of you actually thinks about the logic and the so called "reality" behind the stories?
Today I’m gonna talk about the story of Hansel And Gretel. To read more about the plot of the story, please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansel_and_Gretel
Anyway, finished reading the story?
I seriously think that the witch in the story is very MIS-UNDERSTOOD! Imagine you found yourself a place in the middle of the “No-Men-Land”, where you built your dream house, minding your own business… and along comes these 2 kids, and they are snacking on your house! Put yourself in her position, what’re you gonna do??
I was telling my colleague this conclusion the other day, and his reply was like “Biangz, Why you think their parents wanna get rid of them IN THE FIRST PLACE? You really think they are angels ah? ” haha that sent us both laughing like mad.
Hmm….. just a penny for thought :P
